Diary of a Mad Editor

I took my father to Walmart yesterday to pickup a prescription (my dad’s blind now and can no longer drive) and strolled around the store while he handled his business. Inevitably, I wandered into the electronics department, down the aisle with the iphone 3g cases and other cell phone accessories. At the end of the aisle I notice that Walmart now stocks the Kindle. Remember when the Kindle could only be purchased through Amazon.com? Now, it seems, it’s everywhere.

According to recent news reports, it is now making library borrowing available in 11,000 public libraries in the U.S. The Kindle seems to still be going strong after nearly four years!
